The 'Biboni' sofa, designed by architects Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee for Knoll, draws inspiration from 1970s icons and the Michelin Man, also known as Bibendum.
Johnston and Lee's design process involved brainstorming names and concepts, eventually merging 'Bibendum' and 'macaroni' to create 'Biboni'. This sofa collection features curves that envelop the body and a frame that appears to float.
The "Biboni" has a chubbiness that feels welcoming and informal. It also has the precision and purity of a centrepiece in a room.
The 'Biboni' collection includes two-, three-, and four-seaters, as well as sectionals with chaise options, offering a range of configurations to suit different spaces.
